“…Water pollution is a pressing global environmental issue driven by various anthropogenic activities, including industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, improper waste disposal, and urbanization [8]. Contaminants such as heavy metals, organic pollutants, pathogens, and emerging contaminants pose significant threats to human health, aquatic ecosystems, and biodiversity [9].…”

The escalating global demand for clean water has propelled research into sustainable and cost-effective purification methods. Activated carbon (AC) derived from biowaste materials presents an environmentally friendly and economically viable solution for water treatment. This review article provides an extensive overview of the synthesis techniques, characterization methods, and applications of biowaste activated carbon (BAC) for water purification. It discusses the diverse sources of biowaste, such as agricultural residues, food waste, and biomass, and explores various activation methods including physical, chemical, and biological processes. Furthermore, the article examines the adsorption mechanisms, performance factors, regeneration strategies, and emerging trends in BAC synthesis and application. Insights from this review can guide future research endeavors and facilitate the development of sustainable water purification technologies.

“…The distribution and chemistry of these ions depends on various factors which include the interaction with the aquifer material, rocks-sediments, ion-exchange process, bio-availability, leaching, and the land use patterns. While some cations are beneficial for humans like Fe, Cu, Se, and Zn others can be harmful and cause detrimental effects on the body such as As, Pb, Hg, U, Platinum Group Elements (PGE) (Reilly and Goodman, 1985) (Morin-Crini et al, 2021). The properties like atomic weight, soil composition, ionic potential, and valence state are the significant variables for the mobility of these cations in its aqueous phase (Rouabhia et al, 2009) (Rawat et al, 2017).…”

The present study deals with the systematic approach for the determination of overall groundwater assessment in the Sahibganj district of Jharkhand. A random sampling method was utilized to collect a total of 40 samples from the sampling points tracked with the help of Garmin GPS. This study includes physicochemical analysis, the presence of heavy metals in water with an exclusive focus on uranium. Hydro-geo-chemistry and various irrigational indices have also been taken into account. The advanced statistical and graphical method including the Pearson Correlation matrix, toxicological effects of uranium with Entropy - weighted WQI was employed for assessing the thorough statistics about the standard of water in the study region. The sampling points have been spatially interpolated via the ArcGIS-Spatial Analyst tool IDW. The results depict that an exceeding concentrations of Ca, Na, Mg, and Al is found in majority of the samples as the region is rich in phyllosilicate and bentonite mineral which has predominantly montmorillonite (MMT) with minor kaolinite and illinite. The hydro-chemical facies reveal that the quality of groundwater ranges between the salty types Ca-Mg-Cl and the fresh HCO3-Ca having rock-dominance in most of the samples having trend pattern K < Na < Ca < Mg and SO4 < CO3 < HCO3 < Cl in cations and anions respectively. Uranium is found within the limit but the highest value is recorded for certain regions of Rajmahal with concentration being as high as 24ppb. EWQI values of the samples lie in the range from excellent–to poor, conveying the fact that the groundwater is permissible for drinking, irrigation, and other purposes.

“…Chemical pollutants from numerous anthropogenic sources are found in coastal ecosystems, posing severe hazardous consequences to marine ecosystems [1][2][3]. River runoffs may carry enormous quantities of these contaminants into the sea via various routes, such as sewage disposal, accidental oil spills, indiscriminate municipal and industrial discharges, automotive wastes, vehicular emissions, etc., caused by incomplete thermal oxidation of fossil fuels [4]. The release of numerous organic contaminants into the environment from these diverse sources (especially runoff or effluent discharges) is a major source of environmental depletion in many countries.…”

We investigated the presence of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) on the surface sediments sampled at the Ilaje coastal river in Ondo State, Nigeria. The samples were taken at five locations along the coast to determine their distribution in surface sediments and identify the input of industrial activities. The identified OCPs included G-BHC, d-BHC, chlorothalonil, alachlor, aldrin, dacthal, heptachlor-epoxide, g-chlordane, and trans-nonachlor, accounting for roughly 99% of the total detectable in the samples. The pesticide concentrations (dry weight) were ≤ 326.98 ng/g, with an average value of 15.49 ng/g. The pesticide levels at the various studied locations were in this order: Idiogba Police > Igbokoda > Idiogba Subu > Ayetoro > Eyunona. Furthermore, considerable negative and positive correlations exist between the various components of chlorinated pesticides. Based on the dry weight, TPH values in the samples ranged from 5.42 to 22.53 ng/g, in the order Eyunona > Idiogba Police > Idiogba Subu > Ayetoro > Igbokoda. Our data suggest that the hydrocarbons in the sediment matrices arise from anthropogenic causes other than oil spillage, such as water transportation and residential waste discharge, storm waters, rural runoff, etc. Although pollution levels are generally low, there is a need for regular monitoring and enforcement of stringent implementation of environmental laws and standards designed to curb any potential environmental pollution arising from oil spills and indiscriminate waste disposals in the coastal community.
